Just wondering if anyone duo boxes in this game?

It's pretty common in MMORPG's for people to duo box. I use to do it in EQ, EQ2, and FFXI. I was just wondering if anyone duo boxes in this game and if so what classes?

No one could dual-box any battle of consequence in this game even 10% effectively. I'm sure you could program some manner of heal bot (if you are interested in getting banned) but given the sheer amount of dodge mechanics in the game it would become apparent very quickly that someone was trying to pull double duty. The entire battle system is built on movement/positioning/timing to optimize effectiveness which would mean operating two controllers/keyboards simultaneously, which unless you have four arms I don't see it happening.

2 characters on 1 controller, playing the same job like BLM for example, I can do at least 50%-80& effeciency, usually just missing procs. Not saying its easy, but much better than your 10% estimate .

I used to do 2 keyboards at once for 2 characters for blm in 1.0, it was much easier then due to long cooldowns for casts.

i am thinking of leveling a new character on a new account, while the alt toon on my main's account is farming CT for spiritbond.

Yes people do, just not in a dungeon.

Just earlier today I had someone in a Fate grind group claim to be dual-boxing. It was their excuse for dying. In a full Fate group.

Which says a lot about dual-boxing.

People run light dungeons on the same PC or PC+Laptop/PS3+Laptop(PC). No one will answer directly as it will get them banned, though. Most utilize bots though that, incidentally is tied with XIVAPP for notifications.

Why will someone get banned for multi boxing?

Why will someone get banned for multi boxing?

Because it's SE.
